About Me
In a prior chapter of my life, I found success in Silicon Valley over a 17-year career, working as an early startup employee, executive, advisor, and investor with multiple billion-dollar startups. However, my workaholism, along with repressed trauma from my childhood, contributed to psychological and spiritual struggles that culminated in various addictions and eventual burnout.
A series of so-called spiritually transformative experiences initiated a journey of healing from childhood trauma and the death of my mom from mental illness when I was ten, leading to a much deeper understanding of myself and a new mission to help others transform themselves and find a higher purpose and more authentic alignment in their life.
Now, I’m an advisor to Integrative Mental Health University, coach others navigating midlife transformations and spiritual awakenings, and also serve on the board of the Heroic Hearts Project, supporting veterans with PTSD through psychedelic therapy.
I’m working on a book about the role of dreams in personal transformation, and I’m conducting independent research on non-ordinary states of consciousness, which you can check out at www.storiesofawakening.org. I have several other research projects in the works across all categories of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
